Chapter 617: Granddaughter?
Cui’er didn’t understand Dongfang Mu’s meaning at first. But hearing him mentioned Pei Qinghan, she immediately understood and asked: “Master, you mean that she is milady’s daughter?”
Dongfang Mu said: “I am not sure yet. You go down the mountain and bring all of her family here. I’ll know it when I ask.”
Cui’er was also very excited. If she was really her lady’s daughter, how happy will her lady will be, right?
At dawn, Cui’er took some people, went down the mountain, and directly go to the inn where Bai Zhi lived. After seeing Zhao Lan, she only said that Bai Zhi asked them to go up the mountain to live.
Zhao Lan recognized Cui’er and knew that she was a kind-hearted girl. She didn’t think too much about it. She immediately left the room and took Hu Changlin, Zhou Xiaofeng, and Ru’er with her and went to the mountain.

In the lobby of Qi Yunju, Dongfang Mu waited for a long time. But after seeing a group of people, he hurriedly got up and to meet them. He happily said to Zhao Lan: “You must be Bai Zhi’s mother.”
Zhao Lan paid him a greeting, but looked at him a little restrained: “Yes, I am.”
Dongfang Mu’s eyes fell on Hu Changlin: “Are you Bai Zhi’s father?”
Hu Changlin waved his hand: “No, no, I’m not Bai Zhi’s father. Her father died 10 years ago.”
Dongfang Mu nodded her head, remembering Bai Zhi did say so.
When they sat down, the maidservant put the tea on the table. However, he kept looking at Zhao Lan secretly and found that Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi don’t resemble each other at all.
“Zhao Lan, I have something to ask you, I hope you don’t blame me for being abrupt.”
Zhao Lan hurriedly replied: “You are welcome to ask.”
Dongfang Mu asked: “Is Bai Zhi your biological daughter?”
So originally, it was for this. Zhao Lan didn’t try to hide it at all, she felt there was no need to conceal it. Even Bai Zhi face things openly, so why can’t she?
Zhao Lan smiled and said: “How can I be so lucky to give birth to such a beautiful daughter? She was picked up from the mountain by my husband.”
Dongfang Mu busily asked: “Oh? When was it picked up? How old was it when picked up?”
Zhao Lan truthfully said: “She was picked up 13 years ago. At that time, she wasn’t even a month old yet. I thought she wouldn’t survive, but she was able to in God’s grace.” Zhao Lan looked at Dongfang Mu and asked: “Why do you ask about this?”
Dongfang Mu could hardly suppress his excitement. He stood up excitedly and said to Zhao Lan: “To be honest, my daughter gave birth to a baby girl 13 years ago, and the child died soon after. My daughter didn’t even see her child’s appearance. Her husband just told her that the child was gone. She believed it and thought that the child was gone. However, last month, we got some clues about the child. It turns out that the child is not dead. She still lives in this world, the so-called premature death was just a conspiracy.”
Zhao Lan stared at Dongfang Mu in a daze. Dongfang Mu continued to say: “Since the first time I saw your daughter, I thought she was very similar to my daughter, but at that time she was dressed as a boy. I thought that the similarity was just a coincidence. But last night, I found out that she was a girl, she is 13 years old, had a similar appearance. I had some doubt, so I asked you to come and solve this matter.”
Zhao Lan looked at Dongfang Mu blankly: “So, Zhi’er, is your granddaughter?”
Dongfang Mu asked again: “When you found the child, what she have anything?”
Zhao Lan thought of the jade pendant that the Bai family took, and quickly said: “Yes, there is. There is a jade pendant, but now it’s not with us. It was taken away by my husband’s two brothers.”
